The world is restarting

Chapter 198 The Crossing of the Maze

On the other side, the famous Kansai detective who didn't know that he was going to be pulled by his father to be a tool man was leading a group of people to play in Kyoto.

Since we can't do business for the time being, but we're all here, why not take a trip by the way.

The phrase "It's all here" is very magical. It seems that once you start with it, the rest will come naturally.

It was noon, and a few people were pilgrimage to the Foguang Temple along the Minayoshitsu Shrine that Hattori had taken Conan before.

The summer sun was getting stronger and stronger, and little Lolita Sawada pulled out a Tang paper umbrella from nowhere.The handle of the umbrella leaned against her shoulder, casting a shadow just enough to cover her.

She looked up at the incense-filled temple in front of her, blinked her eyes, "Conan, I want to drink water."

"Huh?" The little boy turned his head, "What do you want to drink, I'll buy it?"

She thought for a while, "Let's go with Odasaku, what would Conan and Heiji want to drink?"

"Thank you, Fanta."

"Uh, mineral water will do."

There is a vending machine not far from Foguang Temple. Sawada Ya turned around the temple wall with an umbrella, and the tree cover protruding from the wall cast mottled shadows along the road.

She stopped in front of the vending machine and helped Conan and Heiji buy drinks, but she became entangled, hesitated for a while, and then turned to consult the people around her.

"What would Odasaku want to drink?"

"Mineral water is fine."

"Oh," the little Lolita looked across the street behind the red-haired youth, and landed on the door sign of the convenience store diagonally opposite, "I want to eat ice cream..."

"Ok?"

Odasaku turned his head to look at the convenience store that was half a block away, and then at the loli in front of him who had written "I don't want to move" all over her face.

"Wait here for a while, I'll go buy it?"

Luo Li regained her spirits immediately, "Yeah, I'll stay here and not move."

Watching the father-like back of the red-haired young man cross the street and disappear behind the green belt on the street.Sawada Ya rubbed her belly, thinking whether it was time to go to lunch, when a shadow suddenly fell from above her head.

"do not move."

Accompanied by a hoarse and deep male voice, a gleaming dagger stretched out from the side and lay across her neck.

On the other side, at the entrance of Foguang Temple.

Watching another tourist pass through the gate of the temple, Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and bent slightly to Conan's ear, "Hey, Kudo, is it okay for us to come here? The place suggested by the puzzle is the Foguang Temple. If someone follows secretly Can't we find it here?"

"We have traveled so many places in the past few days, it is only a problem if we miss Foguang Temple alone."

The little detective leaned against the courtyard wall next to him and glanced around the corner, "Besides, the location implied in that picture is not necessarily the Foguang Temple."

Hattori followed his gaze subconsciously, and saw the commemorative stele standing under the wall not far away, with the inscription "Yulong Temple Ruins".

He suddenly realized, "Yes, it should be there."

At this moment, a series of sudden ringtones rang suddenly. Hattori took out the phone and found that it was a number he did not recognize. He answered it suspiciously, "Moxi..."

"Have you solved that riddle yet?"

Before he finished saying hello, the hoarse voice crashed into his eardrums with a strange sense of familiarity, he subconsciously searched for this familiarity and recalled it, and the moment he reached the end of the thread, his pupils shrank suddenly, "Xitiao Dahe? "

"The little girl who was with you is now in my hands. Before this evening, you will come to Yulong Temple alone with the answer. If you dare to call the police, you will know the result."

After the man finished speaking, he seemed to move the phone to another person's ear, and said coldly, "Say something."

There was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, followed by the little girl's voice, "Brother Heiji, I'm hungry."

It was really Sawada Ya.

Hattori Heiji was shocked and said eagerly, "I know, I will do what you say. I warn you not to bully my sister!"

"Hmph, you'd better keep your word."

With a "click", the phone hung up.

"Kudou?" Hattori turned his head and looked at the people around him seriously.

"I heard it." Conan put away his phone, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was still calm, "Xitiao Taihe really escaped from prison."

"Ah, what the hell are the police in Kyoto and Osaka doing!" Hattori Heiji scratched his hair a little annoyedly, and shot the father of the head of the Osaka Police Headquarters in one sentence, "Odasaku...Didn't Mr. Oda follow the police?" Is Sister Zetian together?"

"I just called him and no one answered."

There was a flash of thought in the blue eyes, Conan didn't know what he thought of, paused for a moment, and dialed a number again, "Just in case..."

Jade Dragon Temple.

The sky outside darkened unknowingly, and Sawada Ya sat obediently in the warehouse with her knees hugged, watching the light coming in through the paper door gradually transition from bright white to orange.A figure wearing a ghost mask ran past behind the paper door, and sporadic conversations drifted in through the crack of the door.

"The knife is in the Benkei drawer, and the bow and arrow are back in the hexagonal drawer..."

She looked back blankly at the container behind her, what is Benkei's drawer?

Just as she thought of this, the door of the warehouse was pulled open with a "swish", and Xitiao Dahe appeared at the door with a knife on his waist, and said coldly,

"Let's go, the time is almost up, follow me outside and wait."

Sawada Ya got up from the ground, patted the hem of his clothes, and obediently followed.

Probably because she was a child, the group didn't bother to tie her up with a rope.Another reason is that she is so cooperative. Except when she was first caught, she said that she wanted to eat. At other times, she obeyed every command and every movement, as if she was her own.

It is not uncommon for children to be obedient, but that is when they are frightened by robbers.A certain silver-haired loli was so big that she took a nap in the warehouse after eating, and she didn't look scared at all.

Xitiao Dahe felt a little strange, but he couldn't think of any threat that a child like her could pose, so he could only keep vigilant secretly.

In front of the main hall of Yulong Temple is a wide square, where monks used to chant sutras.At this time, braziers had been set up around the square, and Saijo's disciples were probably guarding the monks' rooms on both sides. In the empty square, only the kidnappers and the hostages were standing in the center.

Sawada Ya's eyes fell thoughtfully on the open space covered by thin sand in front of him.

Today is exactly the time for the Fireworks Festival, and fireworks have already been set off in the sky above the city of Kyoto in the distance.One after another, gorgeous fireworks rose to the top of the sky, and the light that exploded condensed into golden rain lines and fell, the brilliance swayed, and the pool of stars was in full bloom.

Under the flickering light of fireworks, a slender figure with a peaked cap on his head slowly climbed up the steps and walked in from the gate of the temple.After more than ten steps away, he finally stopped and threw the wooden knife in his hand aside.

"Hey, you didn't bully Sister Zetian, did you?"

"Hattori Heiji," Saijo Taiga sneered, "don't talk nonsense, tell me where the Buddha statue is."

Ignoring his threatening tone, Hattori turned his head and looked around as if observing the environment, "I see, have you already managed this place as your dojo? But you have occupied this place for so long, and you still haven't found it yet." .”

Saijo frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, that Buddha statue has always been hidden in Yulong Temple."

"Varied……"

"I don't need to lie to you." Hattori said coldly, "Should I ask your people to find out?"

Across half the square, Xitiao Dahe cast his cold eyes like poisonous snakes from afar.After a while, as if he had confirmed something, he stretched out his hand and pushed the little girl beside him forward.

Sawada Ya obediently walked towards Heiji.

Just when she was only one step away from Hattori, the famous Kansai detective suddenly saw a sinister smile on Saijo Taihe's lips.

"Sister, get out of the way!"

With quick eyes and hands, he rushed over to pull the little loli away, quickly picked up the wooden knife with his right hand and bent forward, raising his hand to hold the oncoming blade.

"Tsk."

His eyes quickly turned over the other wakizashi on the opponent's waist, realizing the huge gap between himself and the opponent in terms of equipment.

...A wooden knife against a real knife, or two, can this be fought?

He stepped back and skillfully blocked the opponent's attack again. When his brain was thinking quickly, there was a clear and crisp shout from behind.

"Heiji, get out of the way."

Hattori Heiji reflexively turned his body sideways, the gunfire pierced the sky, and a rush of air brushed his arm and nailed it hard into the shoulder of the person in front of him, bringing up a series of splashes of blood.

Xitiao Dahe groaned, his body shook violently, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

Hattori Heiji:"?"

Hattori Heiji:"!!"

He turned his head in shock, and found that he was not hallucinating just now, and a little silver-haired loli, not as tall as his waist, was standing behind him, holding a handful of silver penis with both hands raised.

The shooting posture is so standard for thieves.

"Who taught you this?!"

Ya Sawada blinked, and reported a series of names, "reborn, Izumo, Dazai, Odasaku, cousin...well, and Conan."

"What the hell? Even Kudo?!"

The famous Kansai detective, who was a bit collapsed, quickly threw his knife and retreated to her side. Hearing the sound of the gunshot, the men of Saitiao Taihe who were ambushing around had already chased him out with their knives.

Looking at the rapidly forming encirclement, Hattori took a deep breath, and didn't have time to discuss with her "can children play with dangerous weapons like guns".He glanced at the gun in Sawada Ya's hand, and found that he didn't know the model, guessing that it was probably specially made, "Sister, how many bullets are there?"

Sawada Ya was very obedient and answered every question, "Six rounds, five rounds left."

"Hiss...there are more than five people at the scene." Hattori glanced at the surrounding crowd vigilantly, suggesting that it was time to call for foreign aid, "Where is Mr. Odasaku? Isn't he ambushing around?"

However, unexpectedly, the little loli next to her innocently turned her head slightly and blinked at him, "I asked Odasaku to track down another person."

"...So you didn't tell me that you originally planned to take a gun with only six bullets against so many people present?"

You are only nine years old, sister!

"It's not..."

In fact, the gun was just thrown to her by Reborn, and she didn't need to rely on it.

Ze Tianya let go of her right hand, and was just about to swipe down to summon the spirits of the monsters to work, when a series of weird laughter suddenly sounded, making her froze, and looked up following the sound.

More than ten steps away, Saijo Taihe, who was shot in the right shoulder, slowly stood up from the ground.The bright red blood slid down his arm, all the way to the fingertips, and fell to the ground in strands, forming a small pool of red.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is hahaha..."

The flickering fire light illuminated his ferocious and fanatical face, and his eyes seemed to be tainted with heat, staring at Hattori Heiji, "Hey, the famous detective in Kansai, you just said that the statue of Yakushi Tathagata is here. In a temple, right?"

Hattori frowned slightly, looking at the man's distorted expression, he felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, "...According to the puzzle on that piece of paper, it is indeed right here."

"Hahaha... That's enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood under his feet suddenly spread without wind, centered on himself as if he had self-awareness, drew a complete circle, and quickly spread inward.

As if there was an invisible hand holding the pen, using his blood as ink, writing mysterious runes one after another on the open space, constructing a mysterious magic circle.

Saijo Taihe's fanatical, persistent and distorted laughter resounded through the night sky.

"Hahaha...announcement!"

Listening to the beginning of the familiar summoning words, Sawada Ya was taken aback, and put down the gun in her hand in a daze.

"Ah, the car overturned."
